THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Exfractafront the Morning Papers,April 13,1826. [BR ITI SII PRESS.] It is impossible to calculate on the good faith of a peciple so utterly destitute of all principle as the Burmese. That the King of Avis should have broken the armistice has nothing surprising in it ; but that his Golden-footed Majesty will repent his want of fidelity, we may foretell with out the gift of prophecy. Not only will Sir Archibald Campbell not offer any other condi tions of treaty than those he had proposed, but we may rest assured that no terms of any kind will be again offered. What conditions the Gal lant General may hereafter chose to dictate, are the conditions to which, we confidently pre dict, his Burmese Majesty will be compelled to accede. The proposed terms of the treaty, to which the violated armistice has put an end, were, the cession of Arracan, Cheduba, Martaban, 'Pays, and Mergui, together with the payment of two crore of rupees (two millions sterling.)— The Kee Whoongee (Prime Minister), who has a' little more sense than his Imperial Master, did not consider these as articles which were to be rashly rejected ; but having a natural wish to keep his head on his shoulders, the official func tionary very wisely kept his on n counsel. It will be recollected that, with a force of about 3,000 men, we beat the Burmese army of upwards of 60,000, headed, too, by their renowned Bun doolah, in the brilliant affair at Rangoon, and after many days' hard fighting, killed 14,000 of those troops, and captured all their artillery.— With this event fresh in memory, the public here, we think, need be under no apprehension as to the result of the recent action at Prome, what• ever the numerical superiority of the enemy may have been. The 87th King's Regiment and the 33d Regiment of Native Infantry will have since joined Sir Archibald, and would hove enabled him to advance to the capital with about 6,000 effective troops. This force will not fail to bring the Burmese war, which has been hitherto most ably conducted, to a speedy and favourable termination. [MORNING HERA LIL] Our attention has been drawn by a correspon dent to the apparent neglect which exists in pro. vitling competent means of escape for' persons who have the misfortune to be inmates of houses when on fire. The alarming frequency of such accidents, especially in the Metropolis, as well as in other large towns and the numerous instances of loss of life by them, render it a subject well worthy of public attention, and of some general regulation. From most houses there is no egress bet by the street door. Even where there is a trap door in the roof its use is little known, and the state of alarm so great that it is seldom available— a means of escape, by the bye, which is now be- . qntring even less so by the extreme height of nidern.built houses over many of those which adjoin them. Of this specimens enough may be seen at this time in St. James's-street alone. It would lw extremely advisable that every house should be provided with a ladder of ropes, witl. proper stancheons (which need not be at all un seemly), securely affixed to the up-stairs windows, so as to facilitate their use. Rut as this implies a degree of foresight which we fear is not very likely to be very generally adopted, our cur respondent suggests, that besiies the parish ladders (which somehow or other seem generally tiafely locked against the walls), 'each engine. should be provided with rope-ladders, or such means of escape as may be found most portable and useful ; and we cannot help thinking, that If the pompous puffing secretary of one of the Fire-nffices, who has lately circulated, in his quarterly notice papers, a method of curing scalds and burns, had suggested to the different offices, and adopted in his own, some such mode of say. ing lives as that pointed out by our correspondent, it would have given one a better idea of the uti lity. of Fire offices in general, and of the under standing . and humanity of .those ho conduct them fritiw Tim Es..l We refer , our readers to a Report, in another column, of the Meeting of the Mcndicity Society., an! institution of as much practical utility as any one that was ever established in this metropolis.

LTIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.] Letters from Corfu, dated the 12th and 22d ult. were received yesterday by a most respect able house in the City. Those of the former date merely state, in reference to the affairs of Greece, that up to the sth no formal attack ,had been made on Missolonghi. The brilliant victory said to have been gained by the garrison of that place two days before, turns out, as we expected, to be no more than a pasteboard triumph. Yet, with what confidence was this statement published and republished. Nothing too could be more circumstantial than the account ; and yet, like many other claims of the Greeks to the most decisive success, it happens not to have had the slightest foundation in truth. The news in the letters of the 22d would be highly gratify ing, supposing the various versions that have lately appeared in the French Papers respecting Missolonghi, were merely embellishments of the first rumour which announced its fall. In these letters it is distinctly stated, that, nothing new had occurred in the relations between the be siegers and besieged. It is therefore certain that up to the 20th the place had not fallen ; and, what is more, that no signal advantage of any kind had been gained by the forces stationed before it. The storming of a fort, commanding the entrance of the har bour, which took place, according to the French Papers, on the 9th, is consequently without a shadow of truth. This circumstance would ierefore throw complete discredit upon telligence of the capture ; but that in the first report it was most distinctly and positively affirm.. ed, that this bulwark of Western Greece was stormed on the ¶23d, which would satisfactorily account for the silence of the letters of the T2d from Corfu. A doubt, however, has been raised upon the supposed impossibility of an event, which took place on the 23d ult. at Missoloughi, being known in London on the sth inst. But this objection seems to be more specious than solid, as the news was said at first to have been con veyed in six days from Ancona to Paris, whence it was transmitted to London in about 27 hours. We have an instance before us, in the letter of the 22d, upon which we are commenting, where the passage from Corfu to Ancona has been made in 42 hours ; whilst the distance frog►► Misso. longhi to the former place is no more than 110 miles, and from all of which it may be seen, that the idea of impossibility is wholly out of the question. Such, therefore, as still found any hopes of the news proving incorrect upon the circumstances that it could not reach London in 13 days, cling unfortunately to a broken reed ; and in confirmation of this opinion, we have only to state, that on the margin of the let. ter of the '2211 there are these words, written with a pencil—" All is up with the Greeks." This was written at Ancona on the 25th, probably after the arrival of the messenger there, who had brought the disastrous intelligence of the fate that had befallen the brave garrison of Misso longtii. [THE TIMES.] Notwithstanding the awe which seemed to have been imposed by the country gentlemen upon the minds of his Majesty's Ministers, at and since the commencement of the session, we still flatter ourselves that those who call themselves, and who ought, bona fide, to be the Govern►nent, will so far shake oil their unbecoming deference, for those whom they profess to rule, as to attempt, before the dissolution of Parliament,somethiug on behalf of the general industry and poverty of the country, by laying the ground-work, at least, of a reduction in the enormous price of bread. We have before us an official return, printed by order of the House of Commons, and specify ing, on the authority of the British Consuls in every part of Europe and North Ame rica, the market price of foreign corn within their respective jurisdictions. To make the matt,rr short and intelligible, we shall merely transcribe the comparative prices at which British corn at home, and foreign corn in the outports of the several countries where it mightmost easily be imported into England, are'quoted for the month of June, 1825, whence a tolerable fair view may be taken of the different rates at whirl subsistence could then be obtained in Englanc and in neighbouring countries ;. and, of course, o one g► eat ingredient in the means of competition enjoyed by a British manufacturer against his fo reign rival : 1. J. While wheat was in England, June, 1825 67 8 per Qr. It was at Odessa . 20 2 St. Petersburgh .. . . 25 11 aottenburgh . . 35 4 MxTow . . 19 3 Konigsberg . . . 18 7 Memel: . . 15 .t) Copenhagen . . 14 4 EM MEN • . • 17 6 HAMBUIIIIII . . . 16 7 A MSTERDAII • • . 18 9 . . Bordeaux 36 6 Charente . • . • 29 6 'Havre . - . . 37 0 ‘ ' We need not push the quotation farther. The places printed in capitals are those from whence the chief supplies of grain might be expected, and it thence appears, that adding an average of 7s. per quarter for freight, insurance, and other charges of transit, wheat brought from Ravre, the dearest market on the list, would have cost the consumer in England last' year 445. per quarter, and from MPMNi, the cheapest place. set down, the sum of 225. ed., inbtead 1 of 67s. 13d., the cost of the same article of English growth. Now this, we are will- ing to confess, cuts both Ways :—lst, it is a cruelty upon the - English manufacturer to subject him to such a dreadful disparity of expellee, in comparison with his continental antagonists ; 2(1, it would he on equally. serious hardship on the British agriculturist, to levy the same weight of taxes from him as at present, and to reduce his income to one half, or less than half, of its actual amount : but, in fact, there is no such extreme alteration of English prices • contem plated now by any person whatever, as a thing 'for immediate. adoption. If a -demo" for °reign, corn were once created in- .England b y ( lid Opening (:)f. Our ports, the first effect would be an instantaneous rise in the market. value of all foreign produce, so as probably' to bring the average prices of the articles to nearly the calculation ascribed to Mr. Huskis son to Mr. Jacob, as that at which they might be estimated throughout the ports of the German Ocean, vit. from 40s. to 455. per quarter. In the next place, nobody has thought of at once intro ducing foreign grain into England, without levy ing on it such a tax as would operate powerfully for the protection of the British agriculturist; while in so far as it failed of securing to him a practical monopoly of the home consumption, it would, precisely in the same ratio, assist the revenue to which he contributes by the whole amount of the tax. It is obvious that the rate of duty would constitute the only question enti tled to much deliberation ; and in roughly con jecturing its amount at 12s. per quarter in the first instance, to be susceptible of reduction after wards at stated intervals, we name an impost that would probably determine the cost of foreign corn to the consumer at or near 565. a quarter-- a price in all conscience high enough for a manu facturing nation to afford. Without, however, ►tickling for a precise sum, let the subject be fairly brought into discussion, and a definite prospect be afforded to the people of one day or other getting rid of a monopoly the most excessive, and dis heartening, and intolerable, that ever was in vented by selfish ignorance in the exercise of un bridled power. LATE FIRE AT THE ROYALTY THEATRE. The ruins yesterday still continued to emit large bodies of fire, upon tvhich the firemen were employed without intermission in throwing wa ter, by which means the flames were prrvented from again attaining any ascendancy. The whole of the morning Mr. , Dutor and his sons, besides other persons connected with the establishment, were engaged in exploring the ruins, in hopes of discovering some of the lost property, but their labours were attended but with little success, inasmuch that they only found a bag containing about Mt. in silver, part of the receipts of the preceding night, which had been deposited above half an hour before the fire began by the money takers. Such was the anxiety of Mr. Farrell, the stage manager, to rescue as much of the property as possible, that he ran through the long gallery passage, arid. leaped through a window communicating with the wardrobe, but the flames bore. down upon him, and he was obliged to retreat as fast as possible, without succeeding in his object. His right hand is severely lacerated by the attempt. The front wall of the theatre, which is nearly 80 feet high, is still standing, but in such a' tottering and dan gerous state, that strong wooden barriers have been erected at either end of Well-street, and constables are stationed to. prevent persons passing and repassiug, lest theY should meet with any accident ; yet, notwithstanding these precautions, vast crowds of inconsiderate people were flocking all day, regardless of the impending danger that presented itself. We understand that a lady proprietress, named Steele,'is the only person that is insured, and she we are told, had insured her share in the house to the amount of 1,5001. in the Phoenix In surance-Office. By the unfortunate calamity nearly 200 individuals have been thrown out of employment, besides the destruction of all the property they possessed. All the corps dra matique are left completely destitute, as they are prevented from procuring any engagement at the summer theatres in the metropolis, or the provincial, the Managers- having made all their arrangements for the season during Pas slots week, which is their - usual prac tice;--therefore their situation is most de plorable. Amongst the most extensive suf ferers are, Mr. Dunn, the proprietor, who since the failure, of the banking-house of Sir John Per ring and Co., where he always kept cash, has de posited the receipts of time house in the Treasury ; and at the time of the fire had an immense sum therein. The receipts of that night were between 2001. and 3001.; IGI. out of which (as above stat ed) had been found. In addition to. this, a valu able stock of music, consisting of the productions of Sanderson, Corri, Hughes, and others that have been for years in his collection, have been all consumed. Mr. Dunn estimates his loss alone, at least, at 3,0001. Mr. Farrell's (the manager's) wardrobe, worth 801., has also been demolished. Another performer, Mr. Saicer, is a sufferer to the amount of 501. Monsieur % P enile, a per formes on the violoncello, has li.ad his instrument, worth 501., destroyed. Another performer' on the double bass has been deprived of his instru ment, worth 1001. Mr. Wyatt, who had a line collection of comic wigs, has had the whole of them consumed.—ln consequence of this calamit y,"a number of gentlemen resident in the vicinity of the theatre have formed themselves into a committee for the : purpose of taking into consideration the best means of • relieving the members of the late, establishment. They met yesterday at the Castle Tavern ill Mark-lane, and Mr. Dunn the proprietor, and Mr. Farrell the Manager, attended. After considerable dis cussion, it was resolved, that au appeal be made to the public, by advertisement in the news papers, for the purpose of rai s ins; a'subscription to enable the committee to carry into effect the following resolutions r-viz. " That an immediate application be made to AIL Ebers, the proprietor of the King's Theatre, to ascertain the terms on which he would grant the use of his house for the benefit of the suffererers. That the sum raised by subscription, or otherwise, be placed in the hands of a treasurer, to be appointed by the meeting, for the purpose of promoting the interests of Mr. Dunn the proprietor, and the performers, in such manner as the Committee may think fit." . y.--MI'SSr4.

[EXTRACTS FROM EAST INDIA PAPERS.] We hear with regret, that the young and beau. tiful wife of a certain Koyasteof Mizapore, hay. ing lately gone out to wash herself in one of the neighbouring tanks, met by the way Baboo Pe tambur Ghose, one of the sons of the late Seta ram Ghose, who, being violently attracted by her youth and beauty, and finding her unat tended, seized the opportunity to force her to his house, and after gratifying his brutal passion, let her go away. The girl, with tears' in her eyes, hastened to the Thane at Potuldunga, and informed the Thanadar of every thing that had happened. Next morning the Thanadar, after having made inquiries, accord ingly made a report to the police of the circum• stances relating to this abominable transaction. We cannot now give any further particulars, but when the case is decided, we will try to publish a full account of the fact.—( Kownlood,v, July t.) A Moosulman town woman, named Ulloka, in habitant of Serampore, had two paramours, both run-away Beharahs, with one of whom she lately fell out. On Thursday, the 30th of June last, at about five o'clock in the evening, they renewed the dispute, and so began to strike one another. But the Beharah, being too much irritated at this insult offered him, entered their apartment, and bringing out a sharp knife, began to stab the woman in several parts of her body, in such a manner, that blood oozed out - of the wounds, and she was thrown senseless on the ground. lie afterwards, thinking 'dwell* worthless in the world, and not liking to survive the loss of his lover, also drove the knife into his belly, and instantly fell on the ground. Next morning, persons of the neighbourhood, being informed of the circumstance, immediately sent notice to the Darogah, who, just on receiving this news, has tened to the spot, and made a report of the ci cumstance to the police. Several surgeons had tried many of their best medicines to cure them, but nothing could effect it. The Beharah expired at about nine o'clock in the evening of that date, and the woman an hour afterwards. A certain woman, inhabitant of Calcutta, hav ing intended to see the Ooßah Rutt at Maltase, set out for that village the day prior to the fes tival ; but not being able to reach that place on that day, remained at Serampore. On the mor row, after getting up from her bed, she called her companions, and informed them, that she felt extremely warm, and gradually fainted. On this complaint, many means were exerted, but all in vain, as she gradually grew worse, and soon after expired.—(Somachar Durpun, July 2, 1825.1 llamchunder Chaterjia, inhabitant of Bayloor, has a large elephant, which he lately sent with his driver to his Taulook ak Auntpore. One day, at stoma, the driver, perceiving that the ele phailt was thirsty, desired his uncle, who was his c o mpanion, to drive the animal to drink some water. He accordingly loosened the chains of his hind legs, and as he was about to ride him, he began to move his 'trunk, and make a great noise. The driver's uncle at first tried all he could to pacify him, but not being able to suc ceed, he brought a large bamboo, and struck him very severely on the trunk with it, which greatly irritated the animal, and rushing forward, he surrounded the man with his hunk, and put part of his body in his mouth, which killed him.—Some little girls witnessing this frightful spectacle, went to the driver, and in formed him of the circumstance. The driver, on this, went to the spot, and found to his deep fa/fiction that his uncle's head was broken to pieces, and l►e lying dead on the ground.—(So machur Durpun, 25th July, 1825.) 31ELAITCHOLY ACCIDENT,-.-ST. KITT'S, MARCH 5. The mail-boat Maria, Captain WHITNEY, from this Island to . Antigua, pnfortunately ran on Sandy Island, a few miles to the northward of St. John's, Antigua, about nine o'clock p. m., on Monday, the 27th ult., and was totally lost, with every person on hoard, except the mate, who was providen. tially saved, and picked up near this island. lie states, that it was blowing a gale of wind, and quite dark, when she struck. She immediately bilged, anti the first sea washed their boat overboard. The mate directly sprang overboard to get the boat back to the vessel, and after some difficulty reached hor ; but not finding an oar on board her, or any thing by which he could possibl y . steer, she drifted to leeward, and was picked up between this island and Nevis two days afterwards. He says that he heard the most appalling cries of distress for some minutes after he gut into the boat. There happened, un fortunately, to be several passengers on board, principally the Methodist Missionaries, and their families , front this island, having met here on their annual convocation. The greater part of the wreck was drifted down here, and the body of one of the children was picked up on Saturday, with several trunks belonging to them ; and there can be no question but that every soul on board her perished. The following are the names of the unfortunate passengers :—Rev. T. Truscot, his wife, and child ; Rev. William Oke; Rev. Mr. IVhite, his wife, and three children; Rev. Daniel Heillier, who has left a widow and live children at Antigua ; Rev. John Jones and his wife ; two coloured female servants, two gentlemen from St. Thomas's, names unknown ; Captain Whitney and a crew of seven per sons. Poor %Vliitney has left a widow and seven children at Antigua. Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock yes terday morning, the Strand, from Charing-cross to the Adelphi Theatre, was completely crowded and literally blocked up by stage-coaches, hack ney-coaches, and vehicles of various descriptions : the confusion caused by such an assemblage was very great, and the anxiety depicted in the coun tenances and actions of the several drivers, toge ther with the voluble and declamatory addresses on the occasion, very fully illustrated both the necessity and utility of the widening and hnprov ing the street according to the plan which has been devised and lately laid before Parliament. A very serious accident had nearly happened on Ludgate-hill, at the corner of the Old Bailey, on Monday afternoon, in consequence of a tim ber.carriage with three immense long pieces of timber, in turning to go up the Old Bailey, coming in contact with the story.posts o f m r. Mari iott's house, part of one of them it removed, which had it gone the least distance further it must inevitably have carried away, and with it numerou s areallowed to persons at hese carria ges the whole front of the house, to the imminent danger of itsl:t i nhabitants and who were passing by. It has long been a caus e for complaint, pass through crowded streets with loads of such i m mense length as to endanger the safety of both persons and property, and loudly calls for magi sterial interference. THE FANCY IN AFRICA. Having heard a great deal of the BoxEus of HAussA, I was anxious to witness their perform ance. Accordingly I sent one of my servants to offer 2,000 whydah for a pugilistic exhibition. — As the death of one of the combatants is almost certain before a battle is over, I expressly pro hibited all fighting in earnest. The boxers ar rived, attended by two drums, and the whole body of butchers, who here compose " the Fancy." A ring was soon formed by the Master of the Ceremonies throwing dust on the specta tors to make them stand back. The drummers entered the ring, and began to drum lustily. One of the boxers followed quite naked, except a skin round the middle. He placed himself in an attitude as if to oppose an antagonist, and wrought his muscles into action seemingly to find out that every sinew was in full force for the approaching combat ; then coming from time to time to the side of the ring, and presenting his right arm to the bystanders, he said, 44 I am a hyena, I am a lion, I am able to kill all that oppose me." The spectators to whom he presented himself laid their hands on his shoulder, repeating, " he blessings of God be upon thee ;" " Thou art a a hyena ;" 44 Thou art a lion." He then aban doned the ring to another, who spewed off in tis . same manner. The right hands and arms of the pugilists were now hound with narrow country, cloth, beginning with a fold round the middle finger, when, the hand being first clenched with• the thumb between the fore and mid fingers, the . cloth was passed in many turns round the fist, the wrist, and the fore arm. After about twenty had separately gone through their attitudes of de fiance, and appeals to the spectators, they were next brought forward by pairs. If they happened to be friends, they laid their left breasts together twice, and exclaimed, " We are lions, we are friends." One then left the ring and another was brought forward. If the two did not recognise one another as. friends, the set to immediately commenced. On taking their stations, the two pugilists first stood at some distance, parrying with the left hand open, and, whenever op portunity offered, striking . with the right. They generally aimed at the pit of the stomach, and under the ribs. Whenever they closed, one seized the other's head under his arm, end beat it with his fist, at the same time striking with his knee between his antagonist's thighs. In this position, with the head in Chancery, they are said sometimes to attempt to gouge or scoop out one of the eyes. When they break loose, they never fail to give a swining blow with the heel under the ribs, or sometimes under the left ear. It is these blows which are so often fatal. The Com batants were repeatedly separated by my orders,. as they were beginning to lose their temper.— When thi s s p ec t ac l e was heard of, girls left their pitchers down their basket s , an d a ll ran to see the light. at the wells, the market people thr ew The whole square before my house was crowded to excess.
